Tender for new Material Recovery Facility at Cunchelim waste plant, Mapusa, Goa

This opportunity comes from a news article in The Goan, not from an official tender notice or tender documents. According to the article, the Goa State Urban Development Agency (GSUDA) has issued a tender to build a new Material Recovery Facility (MRF) at the Cunchelim Waste Plant in Mapusa, Goa, India. The estimated cost is Rs 57.61 lakh. Mapusa Municipal Council (MMC) proposed the facility under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan 2.0 programme and asked GSUDA to take up construction of the shed.

The new MRF is described as a 400 sq. m shed. It will relieve the existing MRF at Cunchelim, which is overloaded and currently holds 10 to 12 tonnes of recyclable waste, more than it can handle. The existing site has a conveyor belt and baling machine, a 5 tonnes-per-day bio-methanation plant for wet waste, a 1.5 tonnes-per-day incinerator and a weighbridge. Pressure on the site has grown with rising waste generation and the closure of the disposal site on the Assagao plateau. The new facility is meant to support segregation, sorting, baling and storage of dry recyclable waste collected within municipal limits.

The article also mentions related MMC proposals at the same solid waste management site:

• a composting unit for wet waste, estimated at Rs 30.27 lakh;
• development of the bio-methanation plant premises;
• a leachate collection tank.

The article does not say whether these items belong to the same GSUDA tender.

The article gives no tender reference, procedure type, contract duration, submission or Q&A deadlines, start date, submission portal or bid language. It also states no eligibility, experience, staffing or technical requirements and no award criteria. Bidders need to get the official tender notice and documents from GSUDA, typically through the Goa government e-procurement portal, for these details. Until then, no requirements can be listed.
